Workshop 008 Location: Upper Cape Tech
Please note: this workshop is limited to 35 participants
CONTENT AREA: Dual Language Learners and Early Childhood Language Development The content of this workshop addresses language learning trajectories and stages of second language

We are in a “Perfect Storm” for we now know more than we ever have about Brain Development, Early
Language Development for Mono and Dual Language Learners and Learning, in general.
TARGETED AUDIENCE:
Pre K Directors, Pre-K/K Teachers and Assistants (both Private School and Public School), Special Ed
Directors, Elementary Principals, Librarians, Community Day Care Personnel
TITLE OF WORKSHOP:
Brain Development, Early Language Development for Mono and Dual Language Learners and Learning,
INSTRUCTOR(S):
Sally Grimes, Ed.M.
BACKGROUND OF INSTRUCTOR(S):
Sally Grimes, was asked to be part of a selective cadre of Master Trainers who will help “roll out” a state
initiative to address the needs of Dual Language Learners, an initiative which will also benefit others who
struggle with expressive and receptive language.
After extensive study, Sally is now one of only a few dozen presenters in the state who are certified to
deliver this content along with hands-on activities, on behalf of the EEC and WIDA collaboration. This
content addresses language learning trajectories and stages of second language acquisition, as well as a
host of related topics, including Social-Cultural issues.
DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP:
The emphasis will be on maintaining and enhancing the language and culture of children’s native
languages, while developing their use and knowledge of the English language. Of course, this also
benefits all language learners, especially those who struggle for other reasons.
The focus is on “meeting kids where they are”. This presenter is known for her many “hands-on”
activities and practical activities that attendees will be able to “use tomorrow” such as the Talking Table,
the 30-Second Conversation, the Listening Ears, Dialogic Reading and others.
Areas that will be briefly woven into the discussion include Oral Language Development, Listening
Activities, Vocabulary, Phonological Awareness, Parent Involvement, Social Interactions, and Room
Design. Because the presenter has a long history in the areas of Special Education, Literacy and Language
Development, these areas form a backdrop to the workshop wherein differentiated instruction and
“prevention-early intervention” are underlying tenets. Information about resources such as key websites,
articles and curricula will be provided.
The workshop will conclude with input from the participants on what expertise they would most like CCC
to provide in follow-up workshops for early childhood educators in the area of expressive and receptive
language challenges with 3-5 year olds.

TITLE OF WORKSHOP:
Strategies for Teachers to support English Learners in Mathematical Reasoning and Communication
INSTRUCTOR (S):
Jill Neumayer DePiper
BACKGROUND OF INSTRUCTOR(S): Jill Neumayer DePiper began her career as a middle-school teacher and has extensive expertise in
working to improve mathematics instruction, support students at risk, and enhance teacher preparation
and professional development. She has a Ph.D. in mathematics education, and specific research and
instructional design experiences focuses on English Language Learners. She has served as a professional
developer, taught graduate-level mathematics education courses, and conducted research targeted to
advance the quality and equity of mathematics education, including specific research on professional
development and instructional supports for mathematics teachers of ELLs.
DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP: All students need mathematics instruction that supports them in reasoning and communicating in
mathematics and in their math class. Students who are learning English, however, may need additional
supports in order to make their mathematical thinking visible, particularly in upper elementary and middle
school math classes where there is increasing attention given to problem-solving, critical thinking, and
communication. This workshop will support teachers in understanding and supporting their students who
are English Language Learners (ELLs) in the mathematics classroom. In the workshop, we will engage in
mathematics tasks, first to understand the mathematics and then to understand how representations and
language strategies can support mathematics thinking and learning. We will begin with two mathematics
tasks, and our discussion of them will lead into an overview of instruction for ELLs in mathematics. We
will then experience two mathematics tasks with the language and visual representation supports and
strategies. There will be discussion and reflection on the tasks in order to support teacher learning and
implementation. After the mid-day break, we will share and experience more strategies and ideas to
support further implementation. Teachers will also have time to refine their own mathematics tasks with
these strategies to prepare for classroom use.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES OF WORKSHOP:
The overall goals of the sessions would be: to support teachers in learning about the importance of visual
representations in mathematics thinking and learning and to support teachers in learning about language
access and production strategies for use in the math classroom. Teachers will learn how visual
representations can serve as math learning tools for students, as math communication tools for students
26
and teachers, and as mathematical artifacts for teachers to better understand their students thinking.
Teachers will also learn about and how to implement language strategies and instructional routines to
support student learning.
Overall, this series of PD sessions should prepare teachers with new perspectives about using multiple
types of strategies and visual representations in their mathematics classrooms and teaching and specific
strategies related to language access and production, again, specific to supporting students who are
learning English but certainly also supports that benefit native English speakers as well.

University in 1989 and is a member of the American Psychological Association. Dr. Haarman has been an
instructor at Jefferson Community College, Bellarmine University, and Spalding University. He has
presented seminars regionally and nationally on psychopathology, depression, and emotional disorders in
children and adolescents.
DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP:
School refusal is a problem that is stressful for children, for their families, and for school personnel.
Failing to attend school has significant long-term and short-term effects on children's social, emotional,
and educational development. School refusal is often the result of, or associated with, co-morbid disorders
such as anxiety or depression. Careful assessment, treatment planning, and management of school refusal
are critical to a successful return to school as quickly as possible. Treatment may include educational
support, cognitive therapy, behavior modification, parent/teacher interventions, and pharmacotherapy.
The one-day seminar will break down the distinction between truancy and school refusal. Completing the
seminar will assist participants in performing a functional analysis of school refusal to determine the
motivation and particular reinforcement systems that support the behavior. The course will examine a
number of psychological disorders that may be causing or be co-morbid with school refusal including,
separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, social phobia, panic attacks, major depression, dysthymia,
ADHD, and oppositional defiant disorder. The latest treatment approaches will be reviewed with a focus
on tailoring and adapting standard approaches to specific situations. Lastly, participants will be given the
opportunity to review several case studies and develop a sample treatment plan for cases of school refusal.
31
EXPECTED OUTCOMES OF WORKSHOP:
Recognize the behavioral and clinical features of school refusers
Analyze the functional purpose of school refusal behavior
Differentiate between school refusal and truancy
Identify co-morbid psychological disorders associated with school refusal
Design treatment plans for school refusers
Distinguish the four categories of school refusers
Examine individual, family, and pharmacological approaches to treatment of school
refusers
